The winner of this year's Pritzker Architecture Prize, announced on Tuesday, is Liu Jiakun. The prize, established in 1979, is commonly regarded as "the Nobel Prize of architecture."Liu Jiakun was born in 1956. His architectural adventure started, playing in the corridors of the large brick hospital where his mother worked as a doctor. "From the rooftop, I could see the whole city," Liu recalled in an interview, describing how these early experiences shaped his perspective on urban spaces and community life. After graduating in 1982, Liu's career took a special path. While working for a state-owned architecture firm in Tibet, he also developed a strong passion for writing. "I had two identities then," he explained. "By day I was an architect, by night a writer." This creative life would later profoundly influence his architectural philosophy.Liu's designs skillfully combine traditional Chinese elements with modern functionality. His West Village commercial complex in Chengdu(2015)is a typical example of this approach, transforming an entire city block into a lively public space with buildings, bike paths and pedestrian walkways that reexplain traditional Chinese urban planning for modern needs.The Pritzker judges particularly praised Liu's"respect for culture, history and nature."Remarkable projects include the Novartis Pharmaceutical Building in Shanghai, which features dramatic balconies inspired by ancient Chinese architecture, and the Luyeyuan Stone Sculpture Art Museum, evoking(唤醒)the peace of classical Chinese gardens.Perhaps Liu's most painful creation is his"rebirth brick" project following the deadly 2008 Sichuan earthquake. Using straw and stones from the fallen buildings, Liu developed these special bricks to help rebuild communities. "Each brick carries history," he said, highlighting how architecture can represent both memory and restoration.In his Pritzker statement, Liu described his design philosophy in a poetic way, "I dream to be like water — adapting to each place's unique qualities while gradually solidifying into architecture that honors both tradition and innovation." （1） What is Liu Jiakun's most likely view of his childhood?
